In my opinion,

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK -- Yoselyn Ortega, 50 is from the Dominican Republic and is accused of murdering two children ages two and six. Ortega moved to New York City where she was employed as a nanny for Kevin and Marina Krim. Authorities say she was not hired from an agency. The Krim's apartment is located "at 57 West 75th Street, near Central Park, on Manhattan's affluent Upper West Side." Ortega lived close by and was hired to watch over the Krim&#8217;s three children, Leo an adorable 2-year-old boy and two sweet precious girls Nessie age 3 and LuLu who was only 6 years-old.

On Thursday Marina Krim took her 3-year-old daughter Nessie to her swimming lesson leaving her other two children Leo and Lulu with the nanny Yoselyn Ortega.

&#8220;When Ms. Krim returned around 5:30 p.m., the police commissioner said, she found a dark apartment. She went back down to the lobby to ask the doorman if he had seen the nanny and her children. When told that they had not left the building, she returned to the apartment. She turned the lights on in the bathroom and discovered her two children in the bathtub and the nanny unconscious on the floor.&#8221;

The mother Marina Krim walked in just as Ortega was stabbing herself in the neck and then slit her own wrists according to police.

The two children were stabbed to death by Ortega and she was &#8220;laying face up on the bathroom floor with stab wounds to her throat area.&#8221; She had apparently murdered the children and stabbed herself with a knife from the kitchen.

It was said Marina Krims bloody children were still bleeding from their stab wounds laying in a dry bathtub that only had blood from the children in it. One video report said the superintendent of the building said "Something was stuck in her (Ortega's) neck" it was probably the kitchen knife.

"New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said the children suffered "multiple stab wounds," and were pronounced dead at the scene." Ortega has no criminal history in the United States. There&#8217;s speculation that the nanny tried to clean up the blood in the apartment.

Yoselyn Ortega didn&#8217;t die from her self-inflicted wounds and after the police arrived she was arrested inside the home. Then she was taken to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center. Where she's said to be in critical but stable condition. She hasn't been formally charged yet but she will be.

Ms. Ortega lived on Riverside Drive in NYC and her neighbor said she had moved to the states from the Dominican Republic. The neighbors in the Krims building said Ortega was never friendly even when they greeted her with a smile and a kind word she always gave them a cold stoic face. They said the children were always friendly and smiled.

Kevin Krim was in San Francisco on a business trip when the murders happened and had flown home that day. Authorities met him at the airport to tell him the tragic news about his family. Then the police escorted him to the St. Luke&#8217;s Hospital where Mrs. Krim had been taken because she was beyond the state of inconsolable grief. Kevin spent the night in the hospital with his wife. Her sister was also by her side.​

Marina Krim spent a lot of time with her children and loved them dearly. "Ms. Krim wrote a blog where she documented &#8220;life with the little Krim kids&#8221; and showed them in photos around New York City, eating Gray&#8217;s Papaya hot dogs, pretending to use a pay phone, napping on the sofa and picking pumpkins." The website has since been taken down. ​

Kevin Krims mother Karen Krim said her son and daughter-in-law treated the nanny like gold and that the family "&#8220;bent over backwards&#8221; for their caretaker &#8212; even paying for her trips back to her native Dominican Republic. She said Ortega was hired approximately 3 years ago. Whenever they left town with the children, the Krims would buy Ortega a flight back to the Dominican Republic. &#8220;They paid for her to be with her family,&#8221; Karen Krim said."

The children's father Kevin Krim is a senior vice president and general manager of CNBC Digital. "He moved to CNBC in March from Bloomberg LLP, where he was global head of Bloomberg Digital. A graduate of Harvard University, Krim was also a former executive at Yahoo." Their mother Marina Krim, 38 is a pediatrician and stay at home mom and devoted to her children. The power couple and their 3 children lived in the posh La Rochelle apartment building, apartment 3-F. Neighbors said that they were an active, beauitful, model family.

Yoselyn Ortega, 50, &#8220;The Killer Nanny&#8221; is being Wheeled Away to The Hospital While the Children Lay in the Bathtub Stabbed to Death.

Now, the memorial outside the apartment building begins there will probably be thousands of bouquets of flowers, hand written messages, stuffed animals, cards and balloons left by Halloween.

Nanny surveillance is a booming business in America, where these pictures were taken. Now growing numbers of worried working parents in Britain are calling in investigators, too.

Private detective Sarah Martin plants hidden cameras in clients' homes and goes undercover to spy on childminders. She disguises herself with a baseball cap and dark glasses and follows nannies to the park, where she watches for signs of abuse.

Secret cameras hidden in clocks, video recorders, mirrors and even teddy bears have already caught childminders beating and screaming at toddlers and leaving a nine-month-old baby in the bath unsupervised...
